Fade
Fading Shadows: A Soul's Retreat into Solitude
Lyrics
There's a place that I go
Describing a secluded place the singer goes to.
Where it all falls away
Emphasizing a state of detachment or loss in that place.
Where nobody loves me
Expressing a feeling of lack of love in the singer's life.
Nobody needs me
Highlighting a sense of not being needed by anyone.
Nobody sees me
Conveying a sense of being invisible or unnoticed.
There's a place that i go
Repeating the description of the isolated place.
Where my mind is awake
Contrasting with line 2, suggesting mental alertness in this place.
Where nobody loves me
Reiterating a lack of love in this state of mind.
Nobody needs me
Continuing the theme of not being needed by anyone.
Nobody sees me
Reiterating a feeling of being unnoticed.
I fall into the background
Describing a withdrawal from attention or spotlight.
I fade it all to black
Symbolically turning everything dark or negative.
And everybody's gone now
Expressing a sense of isolation as everyone departs.
And I won't be back
Deciding not to return to the previous state.
I fall into the background
Repeating the act of fading into the background.
I fade it all to black
Continuing to obscure everything, emphasizing a retreat.
And everybody's gone now
Reiterating the departure of everyone from the singer's life.
And I won't be back
Confirming the singer's decision not to return.
Everybody's gone
Highlighting the absence of everyone.
Fade it all to black
Symbolizing a complete departure or disappearance.
Everybody's gone
Repeating the notion of everyone being gone.
And I won't be back
Affirming the singer's determination not to come back.
There's a place that I go
Returning to the description of the secluded place.
Where I'm wasting away
Describing a deteriorating state of being in this place.
Under here
Suggesting a sense of burden or weight.
And I know
Indicating an awareness of the singer's state of mind.
Nobody needs
Emphasizing a lack of necessity from others.
Nobody sees me
Repeating a feeling of being unnoticed or ignored.
There's a number I call
Introducing a coping mechanism, a number to call.
When I need to release
Seeking release from the challenges or emotions.
Where nobody needs me
Reiterating the theme of not being needed by others.
Nobody flees me
Expressing a desire for a lack of avoidance or rejection.
I can be free now
Describing a yearning for freedom from constraints.
I fall into the background
Repeating the act of fading into the background.
I fade it all to black
Emphasizing the complete retreat or disappearance.
And everybody's gone now
Reinforcing the isolation as everyone leaves.
And I won't be back
Deciding firmly not to return to the previous state.
I fall into the background
Repeating the theme of fading into the background.
I fade it all to black
Persisting in the act of obscuring everything.
And everybody's gone now
Reiterating the departure of everyone from the singer's life.
And I won't be back
Affirming the singer's decision not to return.
Everybody's gone
Highlighting the absence of everyone.
Fade it all to black
Symbolizing a complete departure or disappearance.
Everybody's gone
Repeating the notion of everyone being gone.
And I won't be back
Affirming the singer's determination not to come back.
